A youth night run by youth!
(with supervision)

Rejoice is a youth-led night of worship and encounter, designed to bring real joy and purpose to youth who need it. Through upbeat and reflective worship, time for prayer and response, and encouragement centered on Jesus, the night creates space for youth to experience hope and meaning that goes beyond everyday life. It’s a welcoming environment where youth can come as they are, lift up Jesus together, and be reminded that true joy is found in Him.
